Osama bin Laden owned books on 9/11 conspiracy theories and the Illuminati, according to a U.S. government list provided to Buzzfeed News. Titles also include Obama's Wars by Bob Woodward, Hegemony or Survival: America’s Quest for Global Dominance by Noam Chomsky, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins, several issues of Foreign Policy, as well as both suicide prevention and video game guides.
